Successful transplanting is key to a good strawberry harvest

When transplanting strawberries, you need to take into account important points to ensure a bountiful harvest. UAportal has prepared an article on how to properly prepare seedlings for transplanting into open ground.

Time and soil preparation

Transplanting during hot weather should be avoided to prevent stress that can affect plant growth.

To prepare the soil properly, organic matter such as compost should be added to increase soil fertility and improve drainage, creating ideal conditions for strawberries to thrive in their new location. The day before transplanting the plant, you should water the seedlings thoroughly to make it easier to gently transfer them from their previous location without damaging the roots.

Before transplanting strawberries, it is important to cut off roots that are too long or damaged, as this will promote healthy growth and help the plants take root in their new environment. After transplanting, shade the bushes for a few days to minimize stress and help the plants adapt to the new environment.

Avoiding crowding and ensuring proper placement

When transplanting strawberries, it is very important to make sure that they are planted at the proper distance from each other. This will help to avoid crowding, which can impede air exchange and lead to the spread of diseases.

Before planting, you should carefully prepare the bed, namely fertilize it. It is also important to consider the correct location and formation of the holes for the successful growth and development of each seedling.
